This has very little data, to the point it's unreliable.
"Data Scientists in the USA" gives: No data available.
"Data Scientists in Canada" has:
- Sample size = 1
- Not in a major city (Saskatoon)
- That single data point is not representative either, it's on the very low end of the distribution.
This calculator is doing Canadian data scientists a disservice by misinforming companies on salary ranges.
It's not the only one that publishes lowball estimates for Data Scientists either, Glassdoor does the same, and I suspect others do as well. My personal guess at what happens is that at higher ranges, individuals are not willing to publish their data.
If you need to estimate salaries for Canadian Data Scientists, Levels.fyi has much more sensible data (and a larger sample): https://www.levels.fyi/Salaries/Data-Scientist/Canada/ https://www.levels.fyi/Salaries/Data-Scientist/Canada/
